This has to be the tightest opening range I have seen in a long time for NQ. Must be waiting on news in 10 min.

I need to magnumfreakin' learn to trust my system. Absolute perfect entry for me couldn't ask for more. Got scared out when it jumped around a little too much. Such a lame excuse. I must wait for a candle to close before making a decision. +7 out of +350 ish possible. Yay me. LOL!

Managed +10 today but it has been a tough start for me this month, nothing I can't handle just need to dig deep for that patience. Well done you guys who've been earning. Off to some posh beach off Gibraltar with some mates who have flown over from uk tomorrow, hope they don't give me the 'rona...

Two trades so far. +73 ticks. I think I see something on the 5 min chart that needs more testing but shows big promise.

Chart below is 20 second chart. first trade was a simple breakout trade. I knew how likely NQ was to give a head fake at the open so I just scalped that one. Second trade was really based off of 5 min chart and hindsight says I should have held on to it. I didn't like how fast the candle moved so I got out.

scalped today. Fridays and my trading typically will battle each other so I decided today I would scalp some just to make some ticks. Finished out +86 ticks trading just 1 micro. Not a major return but the consistency is there.

Traded on the 20 second chart. I will put more details in my journal later.

TST update, for those interested - work has been busy so I haven't been able to trade the TST Combine every day, however, yesterday I scalped for a couple of hours and hit the stage 2 profit target in one sitting - i've only traded 5 out of the required 10 days, so next week will be 1 micro trade per day with a 1T SL and then the move to pro or funded account, will probably go pro. Have a great w/e all.

Still using your same method? Would love to see some charts! Also, does that say a 1 tick stoploss?!
Lord, Liar, Lunatic. Those are only 3 options to Christ's diety claim.

yes, pullbacks to the 9ema and also scalping from thrust bars (20s chart) - and yes, to make sure i don't go below the 3k profit target next week, i'll just trade 1 micro per day with a max loss of 1 tick - just have to have 1 trade per day to qualify as a 'trading day'.

Great work Eye well done .. i slipped up and was trading the practice account rather than the combine initially .. finally worked out how to switch accounts through sc this week and am up ~$250(my profit target is $2k with $30k account). I also intend to go pro account if i can get through stages

+ 18, loads of opportunities today, far more than I took. Just feeling risk averse since my bad start to the month.
